I think every American should read it, or at least understand what it means. Lincoln was one of the greatest Presidents this country might have seen, how good, no one will know. That's why it's important for every American to understand what it means.

So short in terms of word length. But so long in terms of meaning and history.

TRUE GREATNESS IN SPEECH

By 1554

A truly great leader, who sacrificed his entire life for our country. He had to make some of the most onerous decisions in our country's history. He made them with dignity, honor, and truthfulness. President Obama could learn prudence from Lincoln, an undying legend.
